Well its time to bring my Charger back up to par. Yanked the Engine out getting it looked at also ordered a new trunk floor, as their are a couple pin holes in the trunk. the rest or the car is solid and straight. Needs interior update, here's the hard thing I'm thinking of a colour change. The car is Matching numbers it is still original colour T3 Light Bronze Metallic, Tan Vinyl Roof, And Tan Interior. Am i nuts to change this Colour or what.[img][/img]

Looks good, I would not change the color it could be worse and it could be green!  :icon_smile_big:
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

If its an original NM car do not change the color keep it true to the VIN.  :Twocents:

Nothing wrong with green :)

I am in Ontario also

I guess it depends on the future of your car about the colour
Are you going to keep it forever or are you going to sell it soon because you want something else
If you are keeping it I would paint it whatever colour you like the most (let the next person change it back if they want)
If you are going to sell it soon it is probably not worth the hassel of changing the colour and maybe interior also

That's a nice car...I wouldn't paint it....lots of black, red or blue ones out there! Yours is different!  :Twocents:

I think the tan top fits well with the light bronze but I agree with you on yours..........definitely black with yellow.

color looks great, leave it alone.

i just fought that battle myself. i kept the 68 in SS1 yellow. happy i did now.

when i did my trunk floor i ended up replacing/repairing everything from the back window to the tail. $3500 in steel. i was pissed, i brought the car in for a simple repair and i end up with half the car in the dumpster. 20k value to 3k in value in one week.

its your car do what the heck you want to it

I don't think we are helping him much on the colour, 1/2 of us think it should stay, 1/2 are indifferent :lol:

JT01

I really like the color of it now i would leave it

dyslexic teddybear

Love the color

Advice......keep it for a bit before you decide. Often, a color grows on ya :yesnod:

Scaregrabber

Can't go wrong with factory colour and it's different than all the other red/black/orange/green ones.

Same as some other responses, I'd keep the colour. That being said I am changing my Y8 to B5 or B7 after having owned it for 20+ years, I need a change.
